The logical extension of avoiding dangerous chemical compounds is discovering pure choices for private care merchandise and make-up. I made my very own shampoo and toothpaste (and began an organization to share these recipes with others) however discovering pure (and reasonably priced) make-up choices that I beloved was harder.

I really like enjoying with these DIY eye shadow recipes.

I found out a liquid basis recipe that provides nice protection for zits and pores and skin discoloration, however since I don’t put on make-up day by day. Finally I needed a light-weight tinted face lotion that might be used day by day for a tiny bit shade, with out wanting like I used to be sporting make-up in any respect.

Tips on how to Make Tinted Face Lotion or Moisturizer (Like BB Cream)

As I discussed, this tinted face lotion is much like pure basis however thinner and with much less protection. Many firms name it magnificence balm or BB cream. It doubles as a pure facial moisturizer.

With its slight bronzing impact, I can use it day by day however it by no means seems to be or looks like make-up. It goes on clean and dries to a powdery clean end.

I used a store-bought lotion on this recipe as a result of it’s what I had readily available. For those who don’t have already got a very good face lotion you need to use the home made face lotion from this recipe. It’s so simple as altering the powders we’re including to show it right into a tinted lotion, as an alternative of a basis.

Discovering Your Good Match

OR pure mineral make-up in your shade

I used a mixture of bronze mica powder and cocoa powder in mine. Observe that mica powder does have a really slight shimmer, so for those who don’t need that, keep on with cocoa. You would additionally add in just a little cinnamon for heat undertones. Simply make sure your whole components are a really tremendous powder for clean utility.

You’ll wish to begin with a small quantity of cocoa powder and mica (if utilizing), including just a little extra at a time to match your shade. It seems to be just a little darker within the jar than it does on pores and skin, so don’t panic if it seems to be too darkish!

And when you’re at it why not make some dry shampoo with the additional cocoa? 🙂

It relies upon considerably on the lotion you utilize, however it ought to sink into pores and skin leaving it supple, moisturized, and flippantly tinted. I discover this goes on clean and leaves behind a powdery end, like if I’d flippantly dusted on sheer basis powder or bronzer.

Observe that it’s not heavy and it gained’t cowl up zits, scars, or different blemishes.

The excellent news is, this makes use of wholesome components that feed our pores and skin cells as an alternative of masking the difficulty and over time may help enhance pores and skin tone. Cocoa powder is filled with antioxidants and has just a little caffeine to perk up pores and skin. Plus rubbing chocolate-scented lotion in your face simply feels decadent!

In contrast to my home made basis powder, this recipe doesn’t have any solar safety in it. Whereas I attempt to have secure solar publicity day by day, there may be such a factor as an excessive amount of. For those who needed so as to add just a little non-nano uncoated zinc oxide powder for SPF you possibly can. It would change the feel considerably although and supply heavier protection the extra you utilize.
